Allod, deriving from Frankish alōd meaning "full ownership" (from al "full, whole" and ōd "property, possession"; Medieval Latin allod or allodium), also known as allodial land was, in medieval and early modern European feudal law, a form of property ownership where the owner had full and absolute title. The allodial landowner, also known as an allodiary or hereditary lord, had the right to alienate the property, which was almost always land, a city plot, or an estate, and owed no feudal duties to any other person in respect of it.

== Description == Historically, holders of allods are a type of sovereign. Allodial land is described as territory or a state, along with associated serfs, where the holder asserts the right to the land by holding it in absolute ownership, free from any feudal obligations or dues to a superior. This means the land is owned outright, without any rent, service, or acknowledgment to a higher lord or authority.
